Isn't there a "hack" available on these forums that allows you to "sideload" more than the limits?

I mean essentially a person could use the free Dev Account to unlock their device, then use the registry hack (available on these forums) to allow more than the limit for sideloading....

...or am I missing something?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] loomx:
Yup there is a hack somewhere, I might give it ago, but TBH, im happy to install the reg editor do the edits and unistall it, then do the same for ringtones and unistall it and so on, and just keep 3 that I really need.

After a bit of googling, it seems it might be even simpler...

You still need to have the Dev tools download from dreamspark, but someone posted that all you need to do is this...

Create a new project.

Build the project.

Look in the bin directory that was created.

Find the .xap.

Then submit that
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ducylowycz:
So even though it's a "shell" app (empty app) and it would get rejected by AppHub...all that really matters is that you submit something for GeoTrust to send you the verification email???
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] seekdestroy:
I'm interested in this aswell. I've just updated to nodo.

I'm currently studying computer science at uni and tempted to do a WP7 app for my final year or in my spare time.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] TehPenguin:
Developer Unlock is the same thing as what Chevron does.

For students that are interested, Microsoft provides the Dreamspark program where they give students access to free software, development tools and WP7 developer registration
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] williammel:
Exactly. That's all you need. Once you submit it you'll just get an email from "GeoTrust" (Hotmail marked it as spam), and then you'll be on your way.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] robertftw:
If you like in a country were Marketplace isn't available yet it complicates things a bit.

Even if you get a student account tied to your swedish live-account(like I did) you can't access the Marketplace. But you can still submit apps and get them published with that account!

The only solution here is to get a UK/USA live-account and then jailbreak your phone.

So when NoDo gets released I have to choose between running my own apps or run apps from the Marketplace.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] loomx:
The live account on your phone, doesnt have to match the live account of your developer account as far as I am aware.

My phone is now Dev unlocked and on No-Do.

If you install advance config,it can make it so you can sideload as many apps as you want
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ducylowycz:
Do you think there should be a tut for doing this?

I was thinking of creating one because, as of now, this is the only option to "unlock" our devices.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ducylowycz:
Ok...I have everything installed but when I "build" the app and submit it to Apphub, it just gives me an exception out of range error...

Any insight?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] domineus:
It's pretty simple - register your student email with dreamspark

submit an app (doesn't even have to work) to get geotrust to start the identity process

when you verify your identity wait 2 business day

You now have the option to have 3 devices that can be unlocked

For the respective device, go and edit the registry to increase the app loading limit to unlimited (student has I think 3) and you're done

Legit chevron. unlocked device for sideloading. I'll be getting my brother to do it for his phone as well as his school too! Although I can see an impending rape of this...

It's also pretty profitable...

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] arkavat:
I just spent 2 hours to figure out the tools and built a quote of the day app. Just submitted it. Will wait for Geotrust to contact me.

Well although many might abuse it, it will expose students to the platform. MS has really good tools. I am not a computer major, but I managed to build an app in 2 hours. I am quite exited about my app..and I will definitely read more about the tools and try few more things.

PS: now I need to buy a windows phone device :-D

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Land_Shark:
While in the process of trying to revert my I9000M back to stock, I've inadvertently screwed my soft keys i.e. the menu and back buttons no longer work.

I went from stock 2.2 to Darky's 9.2 Resurrection, had an issue with my data connection dropping intermittenly, tried 9.3 Extreme and then 9.4 Extreme, following all the guides, everything worked great but still had the random data disconnects happening.

Before I realized that it might just be the modem and that I should have left the 9.4 in and tried a different one, I tried to go back to stock using one of the guides here and now my soft keys are inoperable.

I've since tried reflashing using the information here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=952754

and actually got my phone back closer to what it was when I first got it, but my keys are still not working.

Any help or a direction to go from here in order to get these working again would be GREATLY appreciated! :)

Can I replace it with some other version of GTalk ? Or these issues can be resolved ?

Thanks in advance !
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ofulanof:
Which rom are you using?

On what connection?

I'm using 2.2.1 JS8 on EDGE/3G connection, gtalk seems to remember my status correctly. However I get disconnected too often and I see others as offline even though they are online.

Maybe Gtalk servers are having problems?

I've read random posts throughout threads from people asking about discounts or people saying where you can find one. I personally have a 25% discount from a thread on slickdeals.net that went into effect in June. I am unsure if the deal I got is still good but I'll post the link at the bottom. I've also seen threads like the 23% off student rate discount but not all schools are eligible.

I recently found out a friend was paying almost $250 for 4 lines and I've been looking around trying to find some way of lowering that for her. I'm sure everyone here would appreciate some way of lowering their bill though so that's why I'm posting this.

The inspiration for this thread came from some posts I read in the CM7 thread and I thought it would help to open the question up to the entire community. Does anyone have any discounts they know of that haven't been previously mentioned?

As many know, Sprint changed their Terms of Service to only discount the first 2 lines

When I worked for a Sprint store, a few moons ago (now I install the towers) we had a list of company's that offered discounts, the percentage, and the code to put on your account. As a salesman if your gonna be adding a line, or upgrading your phone to a phone that has an awesome "spiff" I was gonna go on that list and give you some kinda discount. Those days are probably done. When I left there were the 2 billing systems and migrating everyone over. But I am sure with a little persuading the right sales person can get you a discount if they are gonna gain from it...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timdawgdentist:
I found this info about 2 years ago. The method I am posting works for either Time/Warner or Cox Communications. If you follow the directions you can receive upto a 27% discount like me. I personally used these basic directions to set up my discount. I don't know about the the time warner discount personally but according to the post I read it works in the same manner. I used this method for cox communications. Due to the wording in their contract with sprint anyone qualifies.

I'm not sure if this was ever posted before but I have found a way to get up to 27% discount off most Sprint plans.

A) sign up for an AIM Mail email account

https://new.aol.com/productsweb/?promocode=825960&ncid=txtlnkuswebr00000040

B) go to the corp discount page on the sprint site and enter your aim mail account as your business email address.

http://sprint.p.delivery.net/m/p/nxt/ais/wdyw.asp?id12=UHPCHP_Link_EmployeeDiscounts

Sprint will then send you an e-mail with a link to a private store that says you are a Time Warner employee and you get a 25% discount.

Plans with this discount cost less than on the current sero plans.

Remember to use coupon code save50 to get a $50 invoice credit on newservice! ( I didn't do this)

Thats it

let me know how it works out.

This takes up to 2 months to kick in. I have had this discount since 07 and it works for everyone that has tried it.

Btw I don't take credit for this exploit. I stumbled upon it.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] bad_freddy:
Hello,

I flashed my mini pro yesterday with latest SE firmware (.06), installed app2sd, all went fine.

Downloaded some apps but after a while the market wouldn't start downloading apps larger than 10mb, so after some forum search I read that a "dalvik-cache" folder clearance would help and tbh after I did it everything fixed.

Problem is that alongside the dalvik cache clearance after the first reboot, three icons came up into my menu, the stock trial games I uninstalled earlier (gold rush, rollercoaster, uefa app).

As I've noticed these are three .dex files in the dalvik cache folder. So I tried and

- Uninstall through applications management

- Uninstall through titanium backup

- Delete the three .dex files using root explorer

All 3 ways the apps are removed but after reboot .dex files are recreated and standing into my menu...

Is there any way to get rid of them once and for all?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kobzarcheg:
boot to the xrecovery, and select wipe\format dalvik cashe.

thats all!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] bad_freddy:
As I've said the problem occured after a dalvik cache wipe but I did it again like you said me and ofc nothing changed, .dex files and icons in menu still there...

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] bad_freddy:
Problem solved probably,

followed the instructions from another thread that mangoman posted

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
If the voicemail app is a system app, you can only restore the data, not the app. You need to grab the apk & install it, then restore data.

ADW doesn't have a scrollable main dock like LP. It does have a scrollable hidden dock. Swipe up on the center icon & there it is. You can put an unlimited number of shortcuts/folders there - just drag and drop. You can do this in the free version as well, but Ex allows for the changing of each dock's individual background.

I have found Magnolia to be rock solid and it is actively developed.

As for rooting, S-Off, Custom Rom's, they all void your warranty, so if you are nervous (or care) then don't do it. You can't really get very far if you don't run S-OFF, though.
